R department will be given on the lawn
| west of Villard hall June 11 at 7:30
K p.m. The first part, “The Piep Piper,”

ine Prescott Peabody’s prize play,
“The Piper,” will be given entirely in
pantomime and dancing. The second
part of the program will consist of
solo and group dancing.
Scene 1—The Village of Hamelip
The people in the little town of
Hamlin are downhearted because the
town is entirely overrun with rats,
destroying everything. One day a
strolling piper comes to the village
and promises for a certain sum of
money to rid the town of the pests.
The money promised him, the Piper
consents to pipe. Out from every con
ceivable nook and corner come all
the rats—“Great rats, small rats, lean
rats, tawny rats.” “Families by the
tens and dozens follow the Piper for
, their lives” and finally see the rats
drowned in the River Weser.
People Dance for Joy
This causes great rejoicing in the
town, resulting in a celegration dance
on the lawn. The people forget the
great service done for .them by the
Piper and refuse to pay him the whole
sum promised. The Piper refuses the
part of the money offered him and
begins to pipe, this time ’followed by
the children, whom he leads away to
the mountains. The villagers are left
alone, with no children to gladden
their hearts.
Scene 2—The Mountains
The Piper is seen with the children
who are becoming homesick ahd rest
less. To amuse them the Piper hangs
a great crystal in a tree through which
the light shines in many colors, but it
soon loses charm for the children, so
the Piper finally takes them back to
their parents. A second great re
joicing is caused by the return of the
[ chidlren and the villagers dance again,
but the Piper, forgotten, is left sad
and aloner

The part of the Piper will be taken
by Eva Hansen, and the Mayor of the
Village by Vivian Chandler. Ruth
Tuck will lead the children. The

Judge Dismisses McCroskey Case
jt j* jt j* j* jt jt j»
Wife Igonres Offer of Reunion
Holding that two quarrels are like
i ly to occur in the best regulated fam
| ilies and that the evidence introduced
was insufficient to sever the marriage
; relationship, existing for moot court
purposes, between Alys Sutton Mc
Croskey and Lyle McCroskey, the
| court, in the person of Fred E. Smith,
dismised the case brought before the
j court Thursday night.
The “plaintiff.” Mrs. Alys McCros
key with a tearful voice and red scar
prominently displayed on her right
forearm told the court how her life
with LVle had been a mistake from
the first and how it had now become
unbearable.
Mrs. McCroskey introduced evi
dence to the effect that McCroskey
had accosted her in the Oregana
while in the company of another man
whotj^'frhe professed to be her cou
sin, and also on another occasion
when he had attacked her with a
red hot poker. She pointed out the
scar on her arm which she alleged he
had inflicted with the poker, but the
attorneys for the defense introduced
evidence that the scar was an old
one and had been rouged for the
occasion.
Inasmuch as both are quite young
and inexperienced in the affairs of
married life, the judge held that it
would be unjust to society to grant
a divorce because of two petty quar*
rels between children.
Mr. McCroskey stated that he was
willing to receive his wife back into
his home and that every effort would
be made on his part to adjust their
domestic difficulties. Mrs. McCroskey,
however, refused to have anything to
do with her husband, but it expected
by the friends of the young couple
that a settlement will be reached and
that everything will again be happy
in the McCroskey family.
The case is the last of a series
conducted by Hie students of the law
department every Thursday night for
the past year. The cases have cov
erel everything frtim counterfeiting
to divorce and much interest has
been shown in the moot court trials
by the students of the University.
of securing reliable and complete
data concerning students in elemen
tary schools, as upon the results ob
tained from this survey the state
legislature will base its future leg
islation.
The teachers, and others, making
out the data cards, are asked by
the director of the survey to record
all retarded children, whether the
cause is from physical, environment
al, or other reasons "Children are
often retarded for other reasons
than mental defect,” said Dr. Car
lisle. “Sometimes it is poor roads,
for those living in rural districts,
sometimes illness of the student or
in his family, but we must have a
record of all cases in order that
through studying them we can pick
out the retardations caused by men
tal defect. Problems concerning the
best way to help these individuals,
and at the same time protect the
best interests of ether students, may
then be intel’igently studied. Studies
made by the U. S. Public Health
j Service indicate that about one per
' cent of retarded pupils are mentally
defective.”

GIRLS’ LOCAL ASKS
FOR PI LAMBA THETA
Education Club of 25 Members Feel
Confident of National; Standing
In Scholarship High
The girls’ honorary educational
fraternity is sending in a petition
to Pi Lambda Theta, a national or*
ganization. They have every reason
to believe that their charter will be
granted, says Lillian Pearson, presi
dent of the local club. Pi Lambda
Theta was founded at the University
of Missouri in 1913. It has eight
chapters throughout the country, one
each at the universities of Missouri,
I Kansas, Pittsburg, Syracuse, Minne
I sota, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The local club was organized early
| this year by upperclass women whose
I scholarship standings were high and
j who were interested in education as
! a profession. No more girls are to
be taken in this year, according to
Miss Pearson, as there are about 25
girls now in the organization and it
is felt that they quite fully represent
the best material in the department.
It is intended to keep the standards
for entrance very high, Miss Pearson
states, and only those whose scholqf
ship and professional prospects will
\ add to the standing of the fraternity
will be invited to be members.
The officers of the club are Lillian
Pearson, president; Grace Knopp,
vice president; Ethel Wakefield, sec
retary; Mamie Radabaugh. corres
ponding secretary; and Marie Rid
ings, treasurer.
Miss Dailey to Leave.
Thursday’s Y. W. meeting will he

ble will make a special effort to be
present.
